Players are taking cheap shots at one another.

Guys are getting tossed, ejections, tons of reviews.

Like this is a real heated rivalry, man.

And I absolutely love it because there's so much hanging on every single one of these games.

And look, man, you know, the Nuggets came to play tonight.

They absolutely did.

Jokic came to play tonight.

Jamal Murray came to play tonight.

they just had some fatal mistakes in overtime and down the stretch of this game.

But these two teams do not like each other and I love it, but I hate it at the same time because I'm absolutely drained right now.

And this game took everything out of me and man, I can't wait for them to play again.

Yeah, if they get this in the playoffs, man, it's just going to be real intense.

It's a war.

It's a 48-minute war every single time, well, most of the times these two teams play.

This was really the first time in a while where we felt the burden of the non-Jokic minutes.

I mean, for most of this season, it's gone pretty smoothly.

You know?

And this was like last year's Don Jokic.

Even beyond that.

because they can take advantage on the other end.
